Historically, it has not been easy to incorporate force and torque sensors into sterile medical equipment. The reusable tooling used in surgical robots and power tools would normally be sterilized with high-pressure steam in an autoclave, which would leave traditional load cells and torque sensors unreliable after the first sterilization cycle. FUTEK’s engineers set out to change these limited options and create an autoclavable load cell, which brings tactile and closed loop feedbacks to sterile medical devices.
